Attorney John Glaser announced Wednesday he is a candidate for Lenawee County District Court judge.

He is seeking to fill a vacancy to be created by the retirement of Judge James E. Sheridan when his term expires at the end of this year. Voters are to choose two candidates in the August primary who will appear on the November general election ballot.

Glaser was among seven attorneys who ran for the district court bench in 2010, when Judge Natalia M. Koselka retired. He and Laura J. Schaedler were chosen in the primary election that year. Schaedler won the November vote and is serving a six-year term as judge.

Glaser has been practicing law for 28 years. He served 51⁄2 years as an assistant prosecutor in Jackson County before returning to his hometown of Adrian in 1990 to begin a private practice. He also serves as a part-time public defender in Lenawee County.

In the 2010 election campaign, Glaser described himself as “very conservative when it comes to my family life and when it comes to the law.” He and his wife have four children.

Glaser attended Western Michigan University and the University of Michigan before earning his law degree from the University of Toledo.
